What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UX/Product Design role where I can apply usability testing, information architecture, and Figma to ship user-centered experiences—while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and learning through iterative research-driven design.

I’m a UX Designer / Product Designer with 3 years of experience crafting seamless, user-centered digital experiences from concept to launch. I lead from concept to delivery using Figma, usability testing, and information architecture to make navigation, accessibility, and content clarity measurably better.

In recent work, I led an end-to-end Figma redesign of the Tech Fest Live website, then turned usability and survey research into iterative improvements. I also designed wireframes and interactive prototypes at the University of Houston, partnered with development for implementation fidelity, and gained industry experience at Dow Chemical supporting enterprise marketing and communications.
